|---|---|---|---|
| Account SID | STRING | TEXT | The SID of the Account creating the Message resource. |

| From | STRING | PHONE | The sender’s Twilio phone number (in E.164 format), alphanumeric sender ID, Wireless SIM, short code, or channel address (e.g., whatsapp:+15554449999). The value of the from parameter must be a sender that is hosted within Twilio and belongs to the Account creating the Message. If you are using messaging_service_sid, this parameter can be empty (Twilio assigns a from value from the Messaging Service’s Sender Pool) or you can provide a specific sender from your Sender Pool. |
| Messaging Service SID | STRING | TEXT | The SID of the Messaging Service you want to associate with the Message. When this parameter is provided and the from parameter is omitted, Twilio selects the optimal sender from the Messaging Service’s Sender Pool. You may also provide a from parameter if you want to use a specific Sender from the Sender Pool. |
| Content | INTEGER | SELECT | |
| Body | STRING | TEXT | The text content of the outgoing message. Can be up to 1,600 characters in length. SMS only: If the body contains more than 160 GSM-7 characters (or 70 UCS-2 characters), the message is segmented and charged accordingly.

To send more than one image in the message, provide multiple media_url parameters in the POST request. You can include up to ten media_url parameters per message. International and carrier limits apply. |
| Status callback | STRING | URL | The URL of the endpoint to which Twilio sends Message status callback requests. URL must contain a valid hostname and underscores are not allowed. If you include this parameter with the messaging_service_sid, Twilio uses this URL instead of the Status Callback URL of the Messaging Service. |
| Application SID | STRING | TEXT | The SID of the associated TwiML Application. If this parameter is provided, the status_callback parameter of this request is ignored; Message status callback requests are sent to the TwiML App’s message_status_callback URL. |
| Maximum price | NUMBER | NUMBER | The maximum price in US dollars that you are willing to pay for this Message’s delivery. When the max_price parameter is provided, the cost of a message is checked before it is sent. If the cost exceeds max_price, the message is not sent and the Message status is failed. |
| Provide feedback | BOOLEAN | SELECT | Boolean indicating whether or not you intend to provide delivery confirmation feedback to Twilio (used in conjunction with the Message Feedback subresource).

| Schedule type | STRING | SELECT | For Messaging Services only: Include this parameter with a value of fixed in conjuction with the send_time parameter in order to schedule a Message. |
| Send at | {DATE_TIME(dateTime), STRING(zoneId)} | OBJECT_BUILDER | The time that Twilio will send the message. Must be in ISO 8601 format. |
| Send as MMS | BOOLEAN | SELECT | If set to true, Twilio delivers the message as a single MMS message, regardless of the presence of media. |
| Content variables | STRING | TEXT | For Content Editor/API only: Key-value pairs of Template variables and their substitution values. content_sid parameter must also be provided. If values are not defined in the content_variables parameter, the Template’s default placeholder values are used. |
